Leading-edge Technology for the Beauty of Nature and the Beauty of Art

4-Primary Colour Technology System and X-Gen Panel Technology

The newly developed 4-primary colour system and X-Gen panel are Sharp's unique leading-edge technologies that dramatically improve colour expressiveness and picture quality to an unprecedented degree. The 4-colour system adds yellow reproduction to the conventional primary colours of red, green, and blue (RGB plus Y). This markedly enhanced yellow reproduction provides an unprecedented wide range in gradations to deliver colours just as they are in nature. Compared with the conventional 3-primary colour panel’s 6.2 million dots, the more than 8 million dots of the 4-primary colour system deliver greater precision with unprecedented colour expression through the addition of yellow.

Improved Colour ReproductionThe addition of yellow pixels enables the reproduction of colours which displays were previously unable to accurately depict. The 4-colour system creates a vast array of colours and improves expressiveness.

Energy SavingsThe high transmissivity of the new 4-primary colour filter in Quattron enables lower power consumption by using the LED backlight more efficiently than does a conventional panel. Using the yellow colour component improves efficiency for higher brightness.

1,920 X 1,080 X 3 (RGB) = 6,220,800 dots 1,920 X 1,080 X 4 (RGBY) = 8,294,400 dots

X-Gen Panel

The next-generation LCD panels are

produced using Sharp’s uniquely developed

UV2A* photo-alignment technology.

Together with fast response, this technology achieves a

higher contrast ratio by enhancing light efficiency and

eliminating backlight leakage to deliver the deepest

black as well as the brightest white.

* Ultraviolet-induced multi-domain vertical alignment (UV2A) is a manufacturing method in which UV light is used for precision control of liquid crystal molecules to ensure uniform alignment in specific directions.

High-efficiency LED Backlight

Using LEDs as the light source in AQUOS enables precise

brightness control and high-speed response. With LED

light diffusion technology, the entire screen is lit with

high efficiency and consistency in brightness.

Combined with the next-generation X-Gen panel,

AQUOS achieves a higher contrast ratio and delivers

vibrant red colours with deeper black for high-precision

detail in dark scenes.

Enabling Higher Brightness with Less Power and Expressing Vivid Intermediate Colours

Why yellow? Conventional RGB displays need excessive

lighting to produce vivid intermediate colours, such as

yellow, cyan and magenta, and high brightness from

all light sources to deliver a bright picture.

Yellow is the solution to enable both a wider colour

gamut and brighter picture with less power.

AQUOS Delivers Impressively Advanced Picture Quality

Home Network - DLNA® (Digital Living Network Alliance®)

The digitalization of audio-visual equipment has

improved compatibility to handle digital image, video,

and audio files using a computer. A home network with

LAN connection enables an AV system in which content

can be enjoyed regardless of where it is stored.

With the DLNA functionality of the AQUOS LE820 series,

you can easily use the large screen in the living room or

bedroom to enjoy photos and music stored on a

computer in another room.

• DLNA®, the DLNA Logo and DLNA CERTIFIED® are trade marks, service marks, or certification marks of the Digital Living Network Alliance.

• DLNA supports only display of still photos. It does not support playing video.

USB Multimedia

USB memory enables greater group entertainment.

View photos on the large crystal-clear AQUOS screen

or listen to music with high-quality audio from USB.

You can even view video by simply plugging in the USB

memory. No complimented connection to a computer

or other devices is required. With USB memory,

you can also easily exchange media files with friends

to expand entertainment possibilities.

Sophisticated Design for Advanced LifestylesThin and Seamless Full Flat DesignContinuing Sharp’s history of innovation and originality, the new AQUOS LED LCD TVs offer a stunning new contemporary design that pushes the envelope for flat-screen television artistry. At only 39mm thick, the full flat front glass (on the LE820 series) extends to meet the slim border for a subtle edge that benefits the elegance of a modern home theatre.

1 4-Primary Colour TechnologyIn addition to the three primary colours red, green and blue, the brilliant yellow subpixels enable efficient backlight operation with reproduction in higher quality. Less power is needed to reproduce the same level of yellow output than with conventional panels.

2 LED

Sharp’s LED system enables precise brightness control and high-speed response. This reduces the light required to view the same picture and decreases power consumption.

3 X-Gen Panel

Compared to the conventional Advanced Super View panel, the new X-Gen panel has a wider aperture ratio, allowing easy light transmission through the panel. This greatly helps to achieve a high contrast ratio with less power.

4 Eco Picture Control

Analyzing the picture signal to optimally control the backlight brightness and picture quality produces a high-quality picture with low power consumption.

5 Energy Save Mode

The LE820 Series represents the latest in energy-saving design with a dedicated Eco button on the remote control that allows the user to choose between two levels of energy saving: standard and advanced. Setting the power-saving level can result in decreased overall power consumption.

6 Optical Picture Control (OPC)

OPC automatically adjusts the screen brightness according to the ambient room brightness. This is not only eco-friendly, since it leads to greater conservation of energy, but also easy on the eyes.

7 No-Signal Off / No-Operation Off

The TV automatically switches into standby mode to reduce power consumption if there is no signal for 15 minutes or no operation for three hours.

Revolutionary Dynamic Sound System (RDSS)Large-screen LCD TVs have been plagued by vibration noise due to resonance frequencies while reproducing high-volume deep bass. Sharp solves this problem by creating a compact but large-volume speaker system that reproduces dynamic bass with the Revolutionary Dynamic Sound System (RDSS). The system uses an active (powered) speaker and twin passive (unpowered) speakers.

Other Features

• Built-in Antenna Booster

The built-in antenna booster enables reception of weak signals with superior picture and sound quality.

(LC-32L50M-BK/RD/WH, LC-22L50M-BK/RD)

Sound below 200 Hz is canceled to avoid interference with sound over 200 Hz. As a result, the output limit is approximately 200 Hz.

The digital filter performs modification for smooth sound below 200 Hz, enabling clear output down to 40 Hz.

Sharp’s RDSS enables high-volume sound and output of low bass while reducing TV vibration.

The digital filter in Sharp’s RDSS adjusts the sound wave frequency distortion that occurs in small speakers, enabling output of low-frequency sound beyond the usual limit.

4 Colour RevolutionQuattron Debut

For 50 years, television relied on the three primary colours of red, green, and blue toproduce a varied colour palette. This limited system of three primary colours, however,

cannot depict such shades as shining gold, vivid yellow, or clear blue.Sharp's revolutionary 4-primary colour technology adds yellow to the original primary

colours to deliver a picture with unprecedented beauty and contrast. Having progressed from black-and-white through three primary colours over half a century,

with the system of four primary colours in Quattron, we are about toencounter an exciting new era in audio-visual entertainment.

Innovation is in our DNA
